Robert Gagno plays pinball and has come to be among the best in the world. He got there in five years, from being a player nobody knew. Gagno was diagnosed with autism at the age of three. The pinball scene gave him a place where he was accepted. His parents have been beside him throughout. Now what is in front of him is something else: being able to live on his own. The documentary follows both the tournaments across the continent and the search for work. The film shows him not as an example of something but as a person with aims of his own. Nathan Drillot and Jeff Petry’s Canadian documentary, eighty two minutes long, was completed in 2016.
